Lesson 2: Listening with our whole body
Essential questions:
How do we listen with our whole body?
Lesson overview:
In this lesson you will use practical exercises to model how active listening involves
listening with our whole body. Communication is more than just the words we say,
but also what is communicated through our bodies and faces. The lesson develops

interpret both verbal and non-verbal cues in order to be an active listener.
